1. A nonwoven fabric comprising:
a. a first surface and a second surface, and at least a first and second visually discernible zones on at least one of the first and second surface, each of the first and second zones having a visually different pattern of three-dimensional features that each comprise at least two distinct three-dimensional features, each of the patterns of three-dimensional features defining a microzone comprising a first region and a second region that correspond to the at least two distinct three-dimensional features, the first and second regions having a difference in values for an intensive property;
b. wherein the difference in values for an intensive property for the first region and the second region of the microzone in the first zone is different from the difference in values for the intensive property for the first region and the second region of the microzone in the second zone; and
c. wherein the first surface has a TS7 value of about 2 dB V2 to about 12 dB V2 rms, and wherein the second surface has a TS7 value different than the TS7 value of the first surface.
